    The NATOist right-wing really felt disenfranchised by Trump and that’s been playing out for about 8 years now.

    Turns out that an angry mob coming to your workplace with the intent of harming and/or murdering you can make you rethink your life choices.

    Don’t get me wrong, Liz Cheney is as conservative as they come. I am not going to try to defend her political ideology. Her campaigning for the democratic nominee is not something I would have ever seen coming only a few years ago. But she has a major axe to grind with Trump. Honestly, can you blame her?

    This is not the same as the Republicans who go from criticizing Trump to boot licking overnight in hopes of getting a few scraps from the table. Liz got effectively exiled from the GOP and she will never have any standing with the Democrats. Her political career is most likely finished. She doesn’t really stand to gain anything from this. She just really doesn’t want Trump to be re-elected and is willing to do what she can to prevent that from happening. On that particular subject, Liz Cheney and I are in rare agreement.

    Gonna be honest, I’m failing to see how having your once vehement detractors campaign for you is somehow a bad move. It seems like, if anything, a power move. IDK.

      Liberals love laughing at Trump when he brings up Tulsi Gabbard on stage like she’s going to siphon votes from Dems

          Why do you think Liberals made fun of Trump parading Tusli Gabbard around? I believe Liberals were right to make fun of that.

            We make fun of Trump and anyone who supports him for being a terrible person and a genuine idiot. Vance used to denigrate him too, now he’s the running mate (and notorious couch fucker) so we rip on him as well.

            We like Kamela since she’s not a terrible person or a generally raving lunatic/narcissist.

            Do you see the difference in these two situations?

              Ignoring that, there’s basically one democrat that decided to turn into a jackass, while Trump is so toxic there’s a long list of party liners (for decades in many cases) openly endorsed a minority female democrat candidate.
